Hi Blue, I have the 7 principles book, but sad to say I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

I work in an ECF too. I'm a dietitian. I work for a SNF and a sub-acute. The SNF is mostly entertaining because it's a bunch of homeless, IVDA, alcoholics, prostitutes, etc...There great. The sub-acute is the depressing one. They're mostly young (<50), severe brain injury, car accidents, and stupidity. Likely those folks will be there forever. There is very little response in most of them, and it just makes me want to cry. It makes me grateful for my health, and makes me ALWAYS wear my seatbelt.

It sounds like your GAL is going great, and I agree, cute new clothes will last longer then an evening in a bar.

Keep up the good work.
